So, with much trepidation, I decided to make Cliff's Rolls!
Yeast scares me, because you have to be exact. When I cook, it's a GIANT mess, I often skip parts in recipes and I tend to dirty every pot and pan in my house. But, I managed to read his recipe correctly, add pinches of flour and I passed the "hesive" test. Then, it was time for them to rise.
For those of you who know me, you know my patience level - it's below zero. So the 2 hour wait was torture! I bet I made 10 trips to the refrigerator outside to peek under the cloth! Finally, it was time to punch down the dough. I gave Jackson that honor. He also helped me roll and put them in the muffin tin. Then, we had to wait AGAIN! They were finally done around 8:00 pm - so we had rolls and butter for dessert. But, they were SO worth waiting for! They were delicious!!!
Today, my mom e-mailed me that she is going to try them today. She said if I had the patience to make them, she could too! I can't wait to see how hers turn out!

Cliff says: When Penni told me she had the dough for the rolls rising in the beergerator in their garage, I said "You gotta send me pictures. And a beer." Nothing gets past Penni:
Ah! Now them there's some good-looking rolls! Good going, Penni!
ReplyDeleteAs for you, Cliff, you seem to be spreading the joy of rolls throughout the world (or at least Texas and Montana). Could there be a nicer thing to do?
I found something that makes them even better...sopping them in pot roast gravy!!! Delish!
